Assuming the PGA socket holes are large enough to accept a 0.025 square wire-wrap post, you could easily construct the socket using 1 x 20 breakable wire-wrap machine sockets. A while back I got a bunch of these from Advanced Component Electronics (ACE) in San Jose (1-408-287-2910). In hindsite, I wish I had used these to socket (or perhaps more accurately double-socket) the PLCC chips. This opens the door to possibly lifting a DUART, for example, and cabling in some other IO circuit. johnc --
